Pride of America is the nineteenth studio album by American country music singer Charley Pride.[1] [2] It was released in 1974 on RCA Records.
The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[3]
The album was recorded at RCA's "Nashville Sound" Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. The vocal accompaniment was by the Jordanaires and the Nashville Edition.
In a retrospective article, Rolling Stone included "Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town" on a list of Pride's 10 "essential" songs, writing that "Pride’s delivery perfectly splits the difference between a tender evocation of home and a stark memory of a world he was happy to have left behind."[1]
